Mississippi State’s rim-protecting, rebounding force
Martha Alwal was a classic anchor in the paint for Mississippi State, and in the 2014-15 season she led the Bulldogs with 14.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game while topping the SEC with 2.7 blocks per game. Her calling card was elite shot blocking and defensive intimidation—she finished her MSU career with 328 blocks, the school record, and was one of the SEC’s most decorated defenders. If you want a physical, high-motor center who changes games without needing plays run for her, she’s your kind of player.
